I thought SBM is a Dutch Co? I might be wrong.

Umm its both. They hire you, but for the first stage they will make you complete Msc first. But along the way, they pay you just like a normal employee. So you get higher 'allowance' than a UTP scholar.

Maybe Alstom?

US or Monaco?

Greetings sifus,

I wonder if anyone here had experience working for PrimeSourcing International Sdn Bhd (formerly known as MITCO (Japan)) Friend of mine got called for Functional Assessments this Friday. Proposed position is Exec (SCM) - Seeding.

Some info I get from Petronas website


Here is some of her background information, she graduated in PE, did her intern doing coiled tubing services and wireline. Its been almost 2 months since her previous employer terminated her service due to retrenchment early this year. I'm trying to help her getting back her confidence to attend the session. It would be really great if sifus here could share some tips and advice for her for preparation as I know that she still didnt move on and accept the fact that she are destined to work with other company.

Thank you sifus

I have a good rapport with PSI. If got offer, take it and request to be placed under category management either for OCTG or Well Cementing (Lafarge).

The session is similar to any Petronas SI - you may sesrch at Petronas thread for the tips.

You can watch this video to get an idea
Petronas MITCO

my ex-company used to get 2+1, etc contract for OCTG, from Kemaman/Labuan as the source of supply.
keywords tubing/casing/accessories premium connections like VAM, TenarisHydril, JFE, GP, etc.
you also can refer to API 5CT, 5L as source for OCTG technical reference.
API = American Petroleum Institute.

They offer her in OCTG, thank you sifus for your prompt response. I hope she manage to get a place in the company and making it as a platform and stepping stone towards achieving her life goals.

Hye bro, thank you for the tips and advice. I shall deliver it to her right away. Just wanna share with you, recently there is one oil company claims based in Dubai, offering job. Funny thing that it is a scam. And the offer letter sent to her, is really not convincing with bad format, English vocabulary terabur some more. I'll share the offer letter with you guys later on.

Alstom office at Chulan Tower not KL sentral.

Since when Monaco is in the US? HAHA

I always thought SBM originated from Monaco. Actually it started out as a shipyard in Schiedam in the Netherlands.

SBM's History

Its office in Monaco is a Regional Corporate Centre

Locations accross the World

Any reservoir engineers here with experience using Roxar's Tempest suite (MORE, ENABLE etc)?

Another 3% company......

cool ! i just applied. did you go through the 2 year KPOC graduate program previously ?

Very rare I think, only Petronas in Malaysia has moved towards Roxar. Even here I believe only Santos uses Roxar, the rest still on Eclipse and Petrel.

But I've got a few Emerson contacts if you need some material.

Anyone got any feedback from KPOC yet??

Sourcing/management fees haha

I'm gonna be attending OGA on Tues or Weds.

Local O&G manpower companies are always looking to improve their offshore construction norms - self-improvement or client request? idk. Many are still using norms from the 70/80s. How do we account for improvements in technology? We And how do we quantify it?

Via KPI monitoring, we can compare estimated manhours to complete a job to the actual manhours spent on-site for several thousand data points. Then apply statistical analysis to determine appropriate norms or offshore factor.
